The following patch updates the FAQ_AIX and makes C++ code work with
more recent versions of the IBM C++ compiler (now called VisualAge C++).
The C++ part was previously broken (g++ and xlC), thus this is zero risk.
Only AIX specific parts are touched (1 Makefile.shlib line (link with $(COMPILER
) instead
of $(CC) and one shell script line (parameter -C to nm to not demangle C++ symbo
ls for
.exp file)).
I thus ask you to please apply this patch before release.
With or without this patch RC1 on AIX 4.3.2 RS6000 passes "gmake check" for both
the native
compiler vac.C 5.0.1 and gcc 2.95.2 :-)

The regexp pattern characters ^ and $ should be explained as matching
at the beginning and end of the input string, not the beginning and end
of "a line", since Postgres does not allow them to match at newline
characters in the data.

Hadn't built on a PARISC 1.1 box in a long time ... but when I did,
it turned out that the libpq makefile chokes on '-L /lib/pa1.1'.
Need to remove the space so filter rule works.

When using 'long long int' for int64 type, check to see if the compiler
accepts nnnLL syntax for long long constants. If so, decorate the CRC64
constants with LL to avoid warnings and/or erroneous results from certain
non-standards-compliant compilers.

Fix Joubert's complaint that int8-sized numeric literals are mishandled
on Alpha (because parser mistakenly assumes that a nonoverflow result
from strtol means the value will fit into int4). A scan for other uses
of strtol and strtoul found a couple other places with the same mistake;
fix them too. The changes are all conditional on HAVE_LONG_INT_64 to
avoid complaints from compilers that think x != x is a silly test
(cf. pg_atoi).

Check bufHdr->cntxDirty and call StartBufferIO in BufferSync()
*before* acquiring shlock on buffer context. This way we should be
protected against conflicts with FlushRelationBuffers.
(Seems we never do excl lock and then StartBufferIO for the same
buffer, so there should be no deadlock here, - but we'd better
check this very soon).

Resetting the XLOG can't include rewinding it to logical position zero,
because we need page LSNs stored in the main database to be less than
the current XLOG position. Hence, generate the new XLOG segment at last
